Physical-Platform Information Missing From prtpicl and
prtdiag (CR 6586624)
The Solaris command prtdiag will not always display Environmental Status and
FRU Status. Moreover, if the -v option (verbose) is specified with this command, the
firmware version and the Chassis Serial Number might also not be displayed. In
addition, the Solaris command prtpicl will not always display the physical-
platform section.
Workaround: System information that is supposed to be obtained using the Solaris
command prtdiag -v, can be obtained by using the following ALOM CMT
compatibility CLI commands:
The physical-platform node properties that are supposed to be obtained using the
Solaris command, prtpicl -v, can be obtained by walking through the targets of
the show SYS command with the ILOM CLI and the ILOM graphical user interface.
Refer to the Integrated Lights Out Manager (ILOM) 2.0 User’s Guide for details.
Solaris Shutdown Hangs and Fewer System Services Are Seen
(CR 6588499)
Very rarely, a Solaris shutdown performed immediately after the Solaris OS boots
could cause the system to hang. This is due to some system services attempting to
stop while others are still in the process of starting. The hang will occur after
svc.startd tries to stop the system services with a message similar to the
following:
Note – The number of system services being stopped will vary.
sc> showenvironment - displays the system’s environmental status
sc> showfru component NAC - displays a component’s FRU status
sc> showplatform - displays the Chassis Serial Number
sc> showhost - displays the firmware version
svc.startd: The system is coming down. Please wait
svc.startd: 74 system services are now being stopped.
